Age of a Folio Record
Folio can now tell you the Age of a Folio Record and the number of days the record has spent in each stage of the workflow.
Adding new Brackets to an existing Approval Workflow
Sometimes you may need to add a new business unit, single select or multi-select field as a bracket to an approval workflow. High traffic workflows always have approvals in progress, so we have now added a feature that allows you to insert a new bracket into a workflow even when there are approvals in progress.
